Hair care is a term for parts of cleanliness and cosmetology which includes hair on the human head. Hair care will change according to one's hair type and according to many activities that can be applied to hair. All hair is not identical it is a appearance of human diversity.

The following are the Haircare Blunders that Extremely Destroy Your Hair.

Brushing Your Hair for Shine

All you need is a few strokes to style hair and spread the natural oils from roots to ends. "Anything more than that is unnecessary friction, which can lead to breakage," says Amy J. McMichael, M.D., an associate professor of dermatology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Shampooing Daily

Hair looks its best when the natural oils from the scalp are allowed to reach the ends, says Sally Hershberger, executive style director for John Frieda Sheer Blonde. That's why most experts suggest that you shampoo every other day or even every third day. If you feel you need a freshener, simply spritz roots with water or dry shampoo and restyle with a blow dryer.

Combing Wet Hair from Roots to Ends

A comb is easier on fragile wet hair than a brush is, but tugging it from scalp to tips can cause breakage. First, smooth out knots with a leave-in detangler. Then, says Marin, start to comb at ends, working up in sections.

Blow Drying Hair thats Dripping Wet

Not only will this make it difficult to style your hair, it will cause a ton of heat damage. "A blow dryer should be used on damp -- not wet -- hair for 20 minutes, tops," says stylist Peter Coppola, creator of a QVC hair-care line. Before applying heat, wrap hair in a towel for five minutes, then let hair air-dry for another five.

Ignoring Your Scalp

To grow healthy hair, your scalp needs nourishment. "Massaging your head with your fingertips will stimulate blood flow," says Christopher Mackin, a trichologist (hair expert) at the Gil Ferrer Salon, in New York City. For extra care, use a leave-in scalp treatment.

Using Wrong Brush

The incorrect brush can not only ruin your style, it can get snagged in your hair. Generally, the longer your locks, the larger in diameter your brush should be (basically, more hair, more brush). To create volume, use a round brush; to smooth hair, a paddle shape is best.

Avoiding Hair Spray

It's gotten a bad rap, but hair spray contains a polymer that actually locks out humidity, says Cheri McMaster, senior scientist for Pantene. And contrary to popular belief, it's not harmful. "It's the polymer, not the alcohol, that dries on your hair," she says. "The alcohol evaporates before it hits your head." Use just enough to hold your style.

Always Fastening Your Ponytail in the Same Spot

Because strands tend to get caught and broken in bands, it's a good idea to alternate the fastening point. "Move it up a half inch one day, then down the next," says celebrity stylist Richard Marin. Using seamless elastic bands will further minimize damage.

Masking not Treating Dandruff

Trying to nix flakes with moisturizing stylers like oils and pomades is only a temporary fix: Dandruff is actually an inflammatory scalp disease unrelated to dryness, says Dr. McMichael. The cure? A shampoo with salicylic acid, zinc, selenium sulfide or tar to eliminate flakes.
